Camp Aratika (part 2)

On the same day we had Orienteering.Orienteering is when you use a compass and there are many signs around and by using the compass if you use it correctly you should get a word or sentence.We were all in groups of twos.There are a piece of paper and on that piece of paper there is a practise and it is in red.The real thing is yellow and we or I got it wrong. The answer is we do try to keep it real everyday.

Polyfestival (2009)

Polyfestival is part of secondary schools performing and get to dance either a Cook Islands dance,Samoan dance etc.I went to the polyfest and it was real cool. My dad was teaching a group and it was cool. His school was called Auckland Grammar School (AGS).My dads school was doing a Samoan dance and it was really awesome.

Camp Aratika (part 1)

At camp for year 5/6 we had to pack our bags and get ready for a camp that is 3 days long.On this camp we had to have groups, and my group was called the Thinkers.The other teams were called Participators,The Honest crew,The Care crew,The True crew and the Responsibles.The first activity we had to do was to go to Skateland.It was real fun but when I got there I was'nt really good because I keeped on falling over.

The Korero

A korero in the Pt England way is like something we needed to improve on like saying "chuck it in the bin" (which we call "bin it"), stop think and do, stop look and listen etc. 

Anyway, our topic for this week was to "stop, think and do".

Apple bus visitors

Today the Apple bus visitors had come over to visit and some people came from the apple bus tour group to our class and we were really excited. The best part was when me and a group of people went on the computer first when the visitors weren't here.

Driving range (golf)

Wow when I got there because there because it looked real easy to hit the ball on tv.But when I treid to hit the ball it was real hard, and it was'nt very far from how I hit it. I came with my whole family (no cousins,uncles and other people just me,Mum,Dad,my little sister and brother). The farest that I hit it was all the way to the first hole and I felt happy.

Swim o rama

In the holidays I went to the pools called Swim o Rama.it was real cool because we had to go on the slide. There was heaps of people because Swim o Rama is pretty poplular right now. But the slide was closed which was pretty bad, but the good thing is that we had toplay with the automatic bucket that fills water and then spills it. It was relly fun and I hope I'll be there some other day.
